Hi All
Some help needed please...
My wife has agreed after some delicate persuasion to buy me a new Sparco black suede steering wheel and she will ask the fat guy with the beard to deliver it in a few weeks.
I am having difficulty getting the right information from the different Sparco suppliers about what kind/make of fitting Boss is needed.
The wheel is flat profile, 330 mm with the usual six mounting holes and takes the central horn push.My car is an 03 111S. Thanks. Beau

This might be what you need to attach a sparco / Momo steering wheel.

Thanks Shangani. Unfortunately these kits are about £124 plus postage which is more than the steering wheel! Interestingly, I spoke to Momo who make one of these snap off kits and their recommended retail is £74.95 plus VAT. so someone is making a lot of profit!

It seems to be really hard to find just a simple boss kit. I can't be the first person who has wanted to fit a Sparco wheel to an Elise.

This seems more reasonable then - Give Simon at Brooke Kensington a ring.

shangani...Thanks

I think I've sorted it. Scarborough racing do a black rubber one the same as the site you've just given, but they also do an aluminium one which looks the biz. So alloy it is.
The reason I've gone for the Sparco suede steering wheel is that as well as the dash area on my 111S being Alcantara, I've got the full harness style bucket seats in black Alcantara...a bit like the Porsche GT3 ones. I've also had a professional coach trimmer cover the door sills (normally hard plastic) in matching Alcantara which not only looks great but gives you a nice armrest and softens the closing of the door so the window doesn't rattle as much. Well worth it. Cheers. Beau
